I think I'm done.

I got around 24 hours in GZ and around 31% completion. I finally finished the deja vu mission erasing all the Metal Gear canon logos and played the Quiz, but I failed the question about the floor of Otacon's lab. But I wanted to play the quiz again, try another time, see the other questions... and then I realized I looked forward to a quiz about a classic game I love, not the current game I was playing. It felt like all I was doing was participating in a sort of 'Pavlovian' scientific experiment: "hey, try killing all the birds as fast as you can!" or "play this again, even if you actually don't want to, because you need it to play what you really want to play". Well, I'm not going through all that again just to get another tape or to change the character models to ressemble the game I rather be playing. Not because it's too hard or challenging, but simply because it's not fun anymore.
I'm guessing Phantom Pain will be worth the extra effort of all the little collectbiles and all (or maybe not, I'm not that kind of completionist anyway) just by not "forcing" us to play again and again all these repetitive modes with barely any context or actual story.

Well, if you don't enjoy playing the game, you probably shouldn't play it.

[Pixxeria]

Was that what you got from my message? :)

[76561198064539791]

If you'd rather play other games, play them.

[Pixxeria]

Don't worry, I will. All MG/S games in order in preparation for the Phantom Pain :)

[76561198064539791]

Sounds good. I also feel I got all I could out of MGSV (made an attempt at a 300M tranq headshot as my last act). If the Mother Base app was given compatibility with MGSV, that might extend the gameplay a bit more. If I got some more time, I might try modding the weapons (random damage, psyche damage on guns) and soldiers.

[Pixxeria]

Psyche damage?

[76561198064539791]

That's the name in the game files for non-lethal damage. The idea would be that when you shoot people with your rifle, sometimes they fall, "unconscious," from the pain. What'd be better is if you could have them moan and roll around on the ground for a while, and sometimes decide to get up--but that's probably not going to happen. Not sure if it'd work to begin with, as you have to name the type of damage the weapon inflicts.

That's the spirit soldier!

24 Hours is enough. I got 22 hours and around 59%. I still plan to 100% the game because i can't get enough of the smooth character movement and stealth. The only thing i need to do is beat all missions on Hard with S rank, which shouldn't be too hard. Plus there is nothing more to collect, expect the last tape and the hard quiz.

If a single map provides so much options, then i can't wait for TPP to come.

[Pixxeria]

I wouldn't mind spending even more if I wasn't at 32% yet. I really wanted another crack at the quiz but it's going to be after I play all the games again.

Did all Ground Zeroes Archievments and had way more fun doing this than in any other game. What a thrill...

[Sïckosis]

*very very mild spoilers ahead*

I had kind of the same feeling trying to get the quiz. I remembered Otakon's lab level but failed the next question (why don't they just call him Gray Fox that's what I remember him as!!) You have to recreate all the scenes again to get the quiz, then you might as well cheat. Look up the answers and do the hard one with 680 polygon Solid Snake.

I mean after 4 or 5 tries at the quiz it does get to be more of a punishment, since after all, you are unlocking a skin that can be used only when you replay the same level you just got tired of doing.

[Pixxeria]

Exactly. It feels like they're doing it to artificially make the game last longer.

42 hours 100%. You don't have to kill all birds to 100% tho ;).

I think i'm done too but it was a great time. Can't wait for TPP.

[Pixxeria]

Do you have to unlock all doors faster?
